Hi A ll,
I hav e included below the content of a letter s ent o ut dis trict-wid e las t week.
Dear Nauset Community,
We are experiencing a significant uptick of COVID-19 cases across the District. This spike correlates to our recent spring
vacation and to a handful of Omicron subvariants - including BA.2.
1. Statistics:
Last week there were 81 new cases of COVID reported across our 7 district schools, which is the hi ghest weekly total since
the early January Omicron surge. The trend continues this week with 56 cases reported so far. Up-to-date numbers for each
school and the district as a whole may be vi ewed on our Nauset School District website.
Positivity rates in our 4 Communities are as follows: Brewster 5.5%, Eastham 6.9%, Orleans 8.7%, Wellfleet 8.7%
Our vaccination rate for students and staff is high and continues to be protective against severe disease, however they are
not stopping transmission and illness completely.
Barnstable County is now in the RED , an indi cation for high risk of COVID-19 transmission (7.03% positivi ty rate).
2. In General:
We continue to work closely wi th our local Health Agents to monitor cases and keep our students and staff safe.
Staff continues to encourage hand hygiene, social distancing as appropriate, and they continue to ventilate rooms with
open windows and air purifiers.
Anyone who needs access to rapid antigen tests can sign up for weekly test kits through the Nauset District here.
Masks remain optional, however, in light of this increase in COVID-19, you may want to consider sending your child to
school w earing a well-fitting, highly protective mask for the period of the next two w eeks and/or until we see a
dow nward trend in reported cases.
Protocols for managing COVID 19 at school and at home:

BREWSTER PONDS COALITION AND TOWN OF BREWSTER CO-SPONSOR
BREWSTER PONDS SUMMIT 2022
The Brewster Ponds Coalition and the Town of Brewster present Brewster Ponds Summit
2022 on Friday, June 17th from 9AM to 12 Noon at the Brewster Baptist Church, 1848 Main
Street, Brewster, MA. Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 will focus on the impact of septic
systems on Brewster’s groundwater and freshwater ponds, as well as potential solutions and
funding mechanisms. Town officials will participate. The summit is an open forum and
residents are encouraged to attend and ask questions. The summit will also be livestreamed.
The Brewster Ponds Summit 2022 will consist of presentations by a panel of experts in fields
including environmental engineering, sewers, alternative septic systems, and the available
funding mechanisms for remediating this problem.
“Septic systems are the greatest contributor to groundwater and freshwater pond
degradation,” said Susan Bridges, Brewster Ponds Coalition President. “The Town of Brewster
has been very forward thinking about protecting the watershed around our Town wells,
resulting in numerous awards for the quality of our drinking water. However, the portions of
our Town not protected by land purchases, including most of the ponds, bay water, and
private wells, are experiencing increasing water quality degradation with septic systems
being the number one cause. We need to address this problem, investigate our options, and
plan for the future.”
“The Town of Brewster has always been a leader in seeking to preserve and protect our vital
natural resources,” said Peter Lombardi, Brewster Town Administrator. “Maintaining and
improving our water quality is a consensus priority for the community. Looking ahead, we are
facing complex policy decisions with significant financial and environmental impacts on our
residents. As we reflect on our progress to date and explore various potential upcoming water
quality initiatives, the Town appreciates the continued partnership and support of the
Brewster Ponds Coalition and looks forward to co-sponsoring this event with them.”

Summary of Discussion/Action Taken: The Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
Management Board Executive Committee (Executive Committee) discussed potential efforts by the
Town of Brewster to withdraw from the Fund and potential interest by communities on Martha’s Vineyard
to join the Fund. The Executive Committee voted to provide technical assistance to towns to support State
Revolving Fund loan eligibility. The Executive Committee also discussed the Draft 2022 Clean Water
Intended Use Plan issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
Materials Used/Received: PowerPoint presentation prepared by the Cape Cod Commission, dated
March 17, 2022.
Chairman Kevin Galligan called the meeting to order at 10:03am and Erin Perry announced that the
meeting is being held virtually, with members of the Cape Cod and Islands Water Protection Fund
(CCIWPF, or Fund) Executive Committee participating remotely, pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Acts of
2021, An Act Relative to Extending Certain Covid-19 Measures Adopted During the State of
Emergency, signed into law on June 16, 2021. Mr. Galligan called the roll for attendance, which is
noted above.
Mr. Galligan made introductions of Executive Committee members and Cape Cod Commission staff
and asked for introductions from others present.
Mr. Galligan called for discussion on Fund membership and recognized Peter Lombardi, Town
Administrator and CCIWPF Management Board representative for the town of Brewster, for
comments. Mr. Lombardi provided historical information on Brewster’s wastewater planning efforts
relative to the CCIWPF and stated the selectboard has been discussing remaining a member of the
CCIWPF for several months.
Mr. Lombardi noted in 2020 the Brewster selectboard working with town administration created a 2-
year strategic plan at the same time the CCIWPF Bylaws and Regulations Committee was working on
developing regulations relative to the Fund. Mr. Lombardi said there were concerns in Brewster at
that time about Brewster having projects that would be eligible for State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans
to access the Fund subsidy, yet Brewster’s participation in the Fund was one goal specified in that
2020 selectboard 2-year strategic plan. Following development and adoption of the Fund bylaws and
regulations, the town finalized a list of anticipated capital projects related to water quality. The town
then met with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in August 2021 to get feedback on
which projects might be eligible for SRF funding.
In January 2022, the town’s wastewater consultant, Horsley Witten, gave a presentation to a joint
meeting of the selectboard and Board of Health on the town’s updated Integrated Water Resource
Management Plan, and indicated Brewster could see up to $31M in water quality related capital
needs in the next 10-20 years. Based on discussions with DEP, the town may only be eligible for up
to $4M in potential Fund subsidy; one large project, to install IA systems in 600 properties around
ponds in town, is not likely to be eligible for SRF funding and therefore Fund subsidy.
In February, the selectboard asked Mr. Lombardi to meet with the Cape Cod legislative delegation to
see what additional financing options may be available. The delegation said there was not a path
forward relative to special legislation, so the town has the option to remain a member of the CCIWPF
or seek other financing solutions. The selectboard considered a warrant article for this spring town
meeting to withdrawal from the CCIWPF, but the legislative delegation offered to continue to work
with the town and DEP to identify any solutions that could increase Brewster’s chance of receiving
SRF funds. The selectboard decided not to bring forward a warrant article at spring town meeting to
withdrawal from the CCIWPF, and instead will continue to work with the delegation and state
officials to see if there is a path forward to Brewster accessing SRF funding and therefore Fund
subsidy. If there is no solution, the selectboard would bring forward a warrant article to withdrawal
from the CCIWPF to special town meeting next November. Mr. Lombardi stated Brewster has unique
water quality projects and is looking for the best options for residents, noting pond water quality is
important to Brewster and the town believes IA systems are likely to be the best solution for the
town.
Mr. Galligan asked Kristy Senatori to discuss other provisions in the CCIWPF legislation such as the
ability for member town to receive technical assistance.
Ms. Senatori acknowledged during development of the Fund regulations smaller communities
advocated for technical assistance to towns to ensure town projects are SRF eligible. Ms. Senatori
expressed interest in which Brewster projects may not be eligible for SRF loans and noted other
opportunities for member towns through the CCIWPF legislation include additional monitoring
resources and assistance to communities.
Andrew Gottlieb asked if Brewster’s wastewater management plan focused on phosphorous
reduction in ponds. Mr. Lombardi said yes, about half of the town’s capital projects, and noted that
SRF eligibility is a concern because many of those projects are on private property. Mr. Gottlieb
stated his understanding that currently no phosphorous reducing IA system is close to general use
approval and asked if the town has discussed with their consultant the potential for small sewer
collection systems around ponds.
Mr. Lombardi acknowledged general use approval for certain IA systems is still needed and current
IA systems focus on nitrogen remediation. Feedback from the town’s consultant is that phosphorous
IA systems make sense for solving nitrogen and phosphorous problems within Brewster ponds.
Mr. Gottlieb said it is his understanding that no IA systems include phosphorous removal and in his
opinion correspondence from DEP suggests that some Brewster projects may be eligible for SRF
financing under certain situations.
Mr. Lombardi said Brewster would like to better understand how the town could meet those
standards of eligibility stating his belief that the town may need to secure easements on all private
properties to be SRF eligible.
Ryan Curley noted an option he submitted to the Brewster selectboard regarding community impact
fees. Mr. Lombardi said the town continues to be in contact with the Department of Revenue
regarding the adoption of impact fees and stated uncertainty in the amount those fees might
generate. Mr. Curley encouraged the town to adopt a community impact fee structure that could be
scaled up, and noted that if the town were to withdrawal its membership from the CCIWPF and want
to rejoin later it would be 2 years before any town projects submitted to the SRF would be eligible
for Fund subsidy.
Adam Turner commented that sewer related projects are not the only way to address water quality
issues, and that if a project is consistent with the 208 plan or equivalent, projects should be eligible.
Mr. Turner said ARPA funds have been used to install 20 IA systems. He noted 3 of the up-island
towns received funding through the SRF for projects in areas where sewer is not contemplated.
Mr. Galligan thanked Mr. Lombardi for his update and noted that the CCIWPF Management Board is
working together collectively to advance water quality efforts and should be aware of possible
future impacts to Fund revenue.
Mr. Gottlieb said it is in the interest of the Management Board to work with Brewster on how to
construct a septic system based program eligible for SRF funds, noting the benefits of structuring an
approach that optimizes all member town’s access to SRF funds. He made a motion to direct Cape
Cod Commission staff to provide technical assistance to the Town of Brewster and other Cape Cod
communities considering innovative/alternative septic systems and other non-traditional technology
to maximize SRF eligibility; Bud Dunham seconded the motion.
Mr. Lombardi expressed his appreciation and noted the Commission’s 2022 update to the Cape Cod
Pond and Lake Atlas and the Commission’s Freshwater Initiative. He said Brewster would be
interested to see how the CCIWPF could provide technical assistance to look closer at SRF project
eligibility to improve access to Fund subsidy.
Mr. Dunham said he thought members of the Bylaws and Regulations Committee did a great job of
articulating concerns of communities not focused on sewer options, that alternatives to sewering
could be relevant to all towns and working with Brewster could benefit every member town.
Jackie Beebe agreed and stated this has been an issue with the smaller communities from the
beginning, that accessing the Fund subsidy does require a project be funded by the SRF, which are
often projects with piped solutions. She expressed interest in the Commission working with towns
that may not be eligible for SRF funding or would like to try innovative solutions. She said the
Commission could assist in addressing how other projects can get approved with DEP, or possibly
get engineering and planning money to investigate other approaches to addressing water quality.
Ms. Senatori said the Commission will work with Brewster and others to determine where needs are
and where there are opportunities to engage with DEP, and that providing towns with technical
assistance is something the Commission supports.
Mark Ells supported the direction of the Executive Committee and noted Brewster is an important
part of Cape Cod community and encouraged the town to actively participate in the CCIWPF.
Mr. Galligan reminded Executive Committee members of Mr. Gottlieb’s motion for the Commission
to provide technical assistance to the Town of Brewster and other Cape Cod communities
considering innovative/alternative septic systems and other non-traditional technology to maximize
SRF eligibility, which was seconded by Mr. Dunham. A roll call vote on the motion was called by Mr.
Galligan: Jacqueline Beebe, yes; Bud Dunham, yes; Mark Ells, yes; Andrew Gottlieb, yes; Kevin
Galligan, yes.
Ms. Senatori said the Commission has heard from the liaison from Oak Bluffs that they are
potentially interested in joining the CCIWPF and Oak Bluffs is in conversation with DEP about
submitting an equivalent 208 plan. She said there was no timeframe on that effort but noted
progress being made on Martha’s Vineyard and possible future additions to the Fund. Ms. Perry said
Oak Bluffs is in the planning phase but inquired about the process and steps involved to join the
CCIWPF.
Mr. Gottlieb asked if there are other Islands towns interested. Ms. Senatori said Oak Bluffs has
inquired most recently and that other towns may be in the planning phase, but Oak Bluffs was the
only town to inquire.
Mr. Galligan called for discussion on draft 2022 Clean Water Intended Use Plan (IUP) projects.
Ms. Perry noted the release of the draft IUP which proposes to fund projects from 4 Cape Cod
communities totaling over $108M in IUP project costs. She stated comments on the draft IUP are
due March 22, 2022 and the Commission has submitted 208 consistency letters for those projects. It
is anticipated the final IUP will be issued no later than early April and the CCIWPF Management
Board should convene shortly thereafter to consider Fund subsidies before spring town meetings.
She noted 2 projects in Barnstable that were submitted and are not currently proposed to be
funded on this IUP.
Mr. Gottlieb noted the final IUP project list could be larger and more lucrative than the draft list.
Mr. Ells noted Barnstable’s intent to comment on the draft IUP. He noted a project not funded is a
pump station that serves the north side of Barnstable Harbor. He said the SRF does not consider
that Fund subsidy is tied to SRF eligibility, that projects that are listed on the IUP but not funded
could significantly impact the community that does not receive SRF funding. He said the state does
not prioritize which projects are compliant with the 208 plan and that state and regional priorities
can differ.
Mr. Gottlieb acknowledged SRF funding is a statewide competition and not every project will be
funded each year and towns should look at their initial project scoring. He said there is a lot of
emphasis on urban stormwater issues at the state level and noted possible future revisions to SRF
criteria and the point scale. He said Cape Cod needs to make the argument that projects here have
the same level of priority as urban stormwater issues.
Mr. Turner noted he missed the discussion on possible CCIWPF participation from the Islands. He
said Martha’s Vineyard towns do not currently have 208 equivalency plans so they are not eligible to
receive subsidy from the Fund. He said down-island towns are working on comprehensive
management plans because they have sewers; up-island towns do not have sewers. He said the SRF
is funding a 208-style plan for 5 ponds, and once complete there will be a management plan with
identified projects. He said Martha’s Vineyard towns want to improve pond water quality and if there
are IA systems that work there could be a mix of multiple strategies to achieve that. He said they are
probably a year away but want to make sure they could be eligible for funds.
Mr. Galligan asked if there is new business.
Hearing none, Mr. Gottlieb made a motion to adjourn; Mr. Dunham seconded the motion. A roll call
vote to adjourn the meeting was called by Mr. Galligan: Bud Dunham, yes; Andrew Gottlieb, yes;
Mark Ells, yes, Kevin Galligan, yes. The meeting adjourned at 11:06am.

Town Administrator’s Report
Mr. Lombardi provided an update on Covid, in what is seemingly like a mini surge, our general population
new positive cases continue to be around five per week. We have seen a small increase in our long-term
care facilities, but they have proven not to be too severe. At the State level, in the early days of the
pandemic there were provisions put in place for expanded outdoor dining, we have about 8 restaurants in
Town who have taken advantage of the program. This was set to expire the beginning of April; however, the
Legislator and Gov. Baker have passed Ch. 42 of the Act of 2022, which extended the program until next
April. The State supersedes local zoning bylaws in these provisions. When this program does end, the Town
will have to sort out the extent to which we would like to keep some version in place, doing so will mean
Town Meeting vote and review of local zoning bylaws.
Update about Town Meeting:
The warrant has been posted on the website and at all the relevant locations around Town have hard

Discuss and Vote to Sign Regulatory Agreement with Elevation Financial for Serenity Brewster Local Action
Unit Application
Jill Scalise noted that Serenity Brewster, a 55+ community is comprised of 132 studio and 1-bedroom
apartments of which 20% or 27 apartments will be restricted as affordable for residents at or below 80% of
the area medium income. Currently phase 1 is opened with 40 units occupied, in late November the Select
Board approved a local action unit application as part of the local initiative program of the Department of
Housing and Community Development (DHCD), part of that application included a regulatory agreement.
The Town and Elevation Financial agreement has been finalized and has been signed by Elevation Financial as
well as their mortgage lender. DHCD is waiting for the Town to sign the regulatory agreement which will
restrict these units to remain affordable in the future and guides all of the requirements so the units can be
requested to be on our subsidized housing inventory. Once signed, this will begin the marketing period so
Serenity of Brewster will be able to market the available units, using a fair marketing process overseen by
State guidelines.
Selectperson Hoffmann requested clarification, about the affordable in perpetuity. Mrs. Scalise responded
once the initial waitlist is created it will be recertified each year to remain affordable.
Ms. Kalinick added that the Town has been working with the Cape Cod Rural Transit Authority to add a stop
at Serenity Brewster once phase 2 is open, at the same time we will be working to add a stop for Brewster
Woods. Ms. Kalinick noted that there is an extensive list of people who have contacted the housing office to
be notified when the lottery will be open, we expect a robust response.
Mr. Lombardi thanked the development team at Elevation Financial for running a great project and being
great partners with the Town. This has moved quickly, without any public dollars and a commitment by the
developer to double the required amounts of affordable housing. Ms. Kalinick also thanked DHCD as they
have been incredibly flexible throughout the process.
Selectperson Chatelain moved to approve and authorize the Select Board Chair to sign the purposed
regulatory agreement with Elevation Financial for Serenity Brewster. Selectperson Chaffee second. A roll call
vote was taken. Selectperson Chatelain-yes, Selectperson Hoffmann-yes, Selectperson Chaffee-yes,
Selectperson Whitney-yes, Chair Bingham-yes. The vote was 5-Yes, 0-No.
Review Resident Input on Proposed Millstone Road Construction Project and Vote on Next Steps (Select
Board FY22-23 Strategic Plan Goal CI-4)
Mr. Lombardi noted this is a project that has been in the works for about 4 years, including public forums
and several considerations. There was a delay in the process due to personnel changes at the DPW and
though not public at the time, the Select Board executive sessions around the acquisition of the Sea Camps.
Following the pause in the project, the Town worked with the consulting team to revise the design and
presented it to the public in a forum in February. There was a public comment period for three weeks and
the Town provided both a summary of the comments and the individual emails from the residents.

Responses to the latest design have been supportive – we received just over 50 comments in total, almost 40
were in favor of the project. There was, as expected, a good number of comments and elements that
residents raised, all of which have been helpful. We have outlined the highlights of the comments and the
Town’s overall response to them. Some of the key changes and highlights include:
Seeking as much as possible to shrink the overall project footprint and potential impacts of residents
who live on Millstone. Propose reducing the shoulder to 1ft on each side (from 2ft). Outlined in the
cover memo, we think we could accommodate a 1 ½ ft shoulder on each side and make sure the
project does not require any easements on private property.
Maintained the 5ft sidewalk throughout from Long Pond up to Main Street, following as much as
possible the roadway geometry. Recognizing the right of way, to the extent we need to make sure
the road, sidewalk and drainage structures need to remain in the right of way to avoid easements. A
slight adjustment, but not to the extent as originally proposed.
All with an eye toward doing our best to retain the existing character but make targeted safety
improvements, the installation of the sidewalk being the most important.
There was discussion regarding the granite curbs, the recommendation is to install granite curbing with an
angled edge, not a hard 90-degree edge. The topic of the speed limit on Millstone Road was brought up,
Selectperson Hoffmann would like to see a commitment from the Town to pursue a reduced speed. Mr.
Lombardi noted that the Town remains committed to do everything we can to work with the State to reduce
the speed limit. About two years ago a request was made to reduce the speed limit and at that time the
State responded that we have a special regulation in place, from the 1970s, and they have their standard
regulatory process in place. The State will complete a survey once the road construction is completed. Mr.
Lombardi noted that we do not want to end up with the opposite results of what we are seeking with the
State. The Town is looking at multiple ways to help reduce the speed of cars.
The travel shoulder was discussed and the 1ft wide shoulder, it was agreed that 1 ½ ft would be ideal. Mr.
Lombardi noted that the point of the shoulder is to convey stormwater to catch basins. Noting that there
may be areas where 1 ½ ft may not be possible, but the goal is to have a consistent shoulder. A crosswalk at
6A to the Sea Camps Bay property was included in the presentation in February, this will be part of the next
step, taking the conceptual design and bringing it through to the point of local and state permitting
processes.
Selectperson Chatelain moved to support the Millstone Road re-design project as outlined in the packet,
with revisions of a 1 ½ ft shoulder on either side where feasible and granite curbing where feasible. As well
as to direct the Town Administrator to work with Town Staff and the contractor to finalize the design.
Selectperson Chaffee second. A roll call vote was taken. Selectperson Chatelain-yes, Selectperson Whitney-

$1,000 for administrative personnel, Council on Aging, Recreation, Library, Natural
Resources and Golf.
o For each of the 14 full months that we were under the State of Emergency, we looked at each
individual employees in person attendance or at least 50% of each of those months, either
working in the office, interacting with the public and/or working in the field. For each eligible
employee over those 14 months, their one-time payment is prorated to the months in which
they had the exposure. This is something other communities have done and is the fairest and
most equitable approach in allocating the funds.
$150K for public health expenditures related to the pandemic, includes partial funding for new part-
time (8hrs initially) public health nurse, also funded in the FY23 operating budget. Other expenditures
include, visiting nurses’ association and at home covid tests for residents.
$150K for resident beach access at Sea Camps Bay property, approximately $100K for design,
permitting and construction. Up to $50K for operating expenses.
$250K for site remediation at the Sea Camps based on Phase II report findings
$125k for Long Pond boat ramp, $100K for the construction, in addition to a $225K free cash
appropriation that will be requested at Town meeting.
$25K for Crosby Property Revolving Fund revenue loss, accounted for outside the general fund.
$25K for partial funding of new seasonal Natural Resources positions (FY23-24).
Mr. Lombardi noted we are looking to use approximately $5K for the purposes of funding our single audit,
since the Town received over $750K in federal funding this year, we are required to have the supplemental
audit completed. All figures are intended to be a not to exceed amount, the deadline to allocate the funds
runs through December 2024, we will be providing updates to the Board. As a side note, relatively to the
earlier discussions about County’s ARPA funds and where they stand today, we received notice that the

similar to the Ch. 90 program. Brewster’s allocation was just over $186K.
o In the updated Pavement Management plan, one of the helpful elements is that it reviews all

and Point of Rocks Rd. using the State funds for the paving work and DPW capital road articles
to handle some of the drainage improvements.
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
o The Cape Cod Conservation District received over $42M through the Federal NRCS program.
Of this allocation we should receive about $1.3M for funding of 3 projects, presentations on
these projects will be provided later this summer:
Freemans Pond Culvert project ($400K), the culvert located at Paines Creek. Looking to
improve the wingwalls to prevent further erosion.
Stoney Brook Mill ($440K), Town meeting approved $125K to repair and reconstruct
the retaining wall that is south of the road.
Stoney Brook Mill -$500K to improve the fishway passage north of the road.
o NRCS provides 100% of the upfront design costs, which is over $120K for these three projects.
Town Planner
o Jon Idman has been hired as our new Town Planner. Most recently Jon was the Director of
Planning and Community Development for the Town of Harwich. Prior to that he had worked
as the Chief Regulatory Officer of the Cape Cod Commission and a local land use attorney.

Meg Morris provided an overview of the data collected from the event which showed that the teams picked
up a total of 2,767 nips, which is significantly more than prior years. The Recycling Commission will be
discussing the potential of recommending a nips ban to the Select Board in the future. In other areas,
cigarette butts and beverage cans were at the top of the data collection information. One interesting find
was whipped cream containers, finding a total of 13 on one of the teams’ routes. The packet contains
details of the data collection. About 200 people joined Beautify Brewster.
Selectperson Hoffmann commented that there were many less plastic water bottles and that the ban that
was imposed did make an impact. Selectperson Chaffee thanked Meg for her leadership, the DNR, DPW and
the volunteers for their help. This event provides the Town with valuable data, though we are never going to
stop littering completely, we may be able to find some solutions to the issues.

Update on Beach Naming Contest
The Town received over 550 submissions during the contest period. Shortly after the deadline the list of
submissions were reviewed, and a short list of possible names have been created for the Select Board to
consider. Mr. Lombardi noted that there were several names that acknowledged or recognized the Towns’
Wampanoag heritage, we wanted to make sure they were both historically accurate and culturally sensitive,
so we are waiting for feedback from Wampanoag leadership on the potential names before bringing them
forward. The plan is to come back at the meeting on the 23rd with the list of names for the Board to vote on.
Mr. Lombardi shared that the Town has received our permitting approvals from the Conservation
Commission for the beach parking for the residents only beach this summer. We are hopeful that we can
formally announce the plan that will be implemented this summer soon. Adding that a lot of logistics need to
be coordinated and work to be completed in a short amount of time. We want to make sure we set
reasonable expectations; the plan is to provide public access as soon as possible.
Review and Vote to Accept Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Audit- Bob Brown & Honey Pivirotto, Audit
Committee Chair
Honey Pivirotto noted that the Audit Committee members reviewed the presentation of the Audit on April
11th and Management letter for the period ending June 30, 2021. The Audit Committee voted to accept and
approve the audited financial statements of fiscal year 2021. The full audit is available in the packet, the
highlights include:
Auditor provided a clean opinion indicating the financial statements present fairly and all material
respects the financial position of the government activities in accordance with the County principles
generally accepted in the United States.
No issues of concern at all were identified in the management letter. The one prior period issue
related to the water receivables has been resolved through substantive action.
The financials are in very good order and reflect a healthy financial position for the Town.
The net assets for the Town as of June 30 were $69.7M, revenues for the 12 month period were
$61.8M and the total expenditure for all Town services which includes education, governmental, and
business type were $54.15M. An increase of $7.6M in the Town’s net position.
The Town’s investment and capital assets totaled an excess of $109M, long term debt totaled
$21.4M. Note that the full extent of the impact of COVID 19 could not be determined as of the date
of the financial statements.
The Town of Brewster extended more than $750K in federal funds awards during FY2021 triggering
the requirement for a single audit for the Town. The goal of the audit is to provide assurance that tax
dollars have been expended as intended and to help reduce the risk of fraud and misappropriation of
public funds. This can be expected to continue for FY22.
Selectperson Chatelain moved to approve and accept the fiscal year 2021 Financial Audit. Selectperson
Chaffee second. A roll call vote was taken. Selectperson Hoffmann-yes, Selectperson Whitney-yes,
Selectperson Chaffee-yes, Selectperson Chatelain-yes, Chair Bingham-yes. The vote was 5-Yes, 0-No.

Status Update on Cape Cod & Islands Water Protection Fund and Discussion on Financing Options for
Integrated Water Resource Capital Planning (Select Board FY22-23 Strategic Plan Goal WR-1)
Selectperson Chaffee recused herself from the discussion. Mr. Lombardi noted this is a complex policy issue
with some potentially significant financial implications for the Town. One of the action items was working
with the legislative delegation to set up a meeting with relevant State officials, that meeting is scheduled in
the coming weeks. The Town will have representation from the Select Board, our Health Director, Natural
Resources Director, and Mark Nelson our longtime consultant from Horsley Witten, and the Town
Administrator. The issue is SRF eligibility for IA systems, for Brewster this means systems primarily around
our ponds and private property, and to understand the extent to which Brewster can then access subsidies
through the Cape & Islands Water Protection Fund.
The Town provided the executive committee for the CCIWPF a direct update and following that discussion
the executive committee voted to authorize Cape Cod Commission staff to provide technical assistance to
Brewster and other towns to look at this issue. The Commission staff after meeting with relevant Town staff
provided a draft copy that will be refined over the next couple of weeks. When the technical assistance is
approved commission staff indicated that their work would take 3-6 months, we conveyed to them the time
sensitivity for Brewster.
Mr. Lombardi noted that Mark Nelson participated in a panel discussion that the New England Water
Environmental Association organized with State officials from the EPA, DEP, and Clean Water Trust to talk
about this specific issue of how to fund and finance IA systems on private property. Adding the importance
of having the Town’s consultant at the table, who is considered an expert on these issues across New
England.
Mr. Lombardi acknowledged another important step in solving the larger issue of funding for water quality
initiatives is bringing forward a new Water Quality Capital Stabilization Fund to Town Meeting. In the FY23
Town operating budget the Town has included a transfer of a little over $112K or 15% of our projected short-
term revenues to the fund. Most critical project on the horizon on the Capital Plan is for a comprehensive
update to our town wide pond water quality data, the last one was completed over 10 years ago. This will be
important in understanding what ponds are at greatest risk and using the data to inform our decision-making
process going forward.
The Town is planning to co-sponsor the Annual Pond Summit with the Brewster Ponds Coalition on June 17,
2022, at the Brewster Baptist Church. Focus will be on pond water quality and the impact of septic system
has on water quality, potential solutions, and financial considerations.
Mr. Lombardi noted that there are two funding initiatives through the EPA, one that the Town has submitted
a letter of interest for and one that the Town may be partnering with or supporting an application for. We
have put in for about $150K to install a new IA septic system at the Captains Golf Course. If we receive the
grant funding, it will cover 2/3 of the costs of the project. The other initiative is a first ever grant program to
pilot the creation of RMEs (Responsible Management Entities), which are pseudo utilities that are a financing

and administrative vehicle to manage the individual septic system upgrades. This is a $2.3M grant, there will
be two grants awarded, one to Rhode Island and one to Massachusetts.
Mr. Lombardi has been working with the Department of Revenue to receive data on what we can project for
local revenues. There are nineteen other Towns have already adopted this, but none on the Cape. Of the
nineteen towns in the first three quarters collected a little over $1.4M, a large portion has been the city of
Boston. At this time, we don’t know what our revenues would be, Mr. Lombardi will continue to work with
the State to see if we can find a way to have more certainty.
There was discussion regarding the timeline and when this would be brought to a future Town Meeting. With
the education that the Town wants to do with our residents, this will bring us to Spring 2023. We have
$175K in water quality initiatives in our Capital Plan for FY23, relatively low dollars. In terms of revenue
collected and contributed to the fund, the winter months are leaner months. There will be follow up
discussion and potential vote.
Discuss and Vote on Upcoming Public Meeting Schedule/ Format for Town Committees (Select Board FY22-
23 Strategic Plan Goal G-4)
The recommendation is to continue with the same format for June that was put in place for April and May.
The potential expiration of the expanded remote participation by the State is set for mid-July. There have
been no updates at this time, most boards and committees have opted to remain remote. Under these
protocols public participation is 100% remote, except for public forums in June which will allow the public.
The plan is to bring forward some potential changes to the local remote participation policy, including public
and remote participation, and public forums. The Select Board had expressed interest in televising as many
of our board and committee meetings as possible for transparency and accessibility for our residents. All of
this will be included in the updating of the participation policy.
Selectperson Whitney moved to continue the current format for Town Committees through the month of
June. Selectperson Chatelain second. A roll call vote was taken. Selectperson Chaffee-yes, Selectperson
Hoffmann-yes, Selectperson Chatelain-yes, Selectperson Whitney-yes, Chair Bingham-yes. The vote was 5-
Yes, 0-No.

Structural Assessment
At your request, this office has produced construction drawings entitled “4HYS016A – 1
Yankee Drive, Rev 1, dated 5-26-21”, detailing the installation of the proposed T-Mobile
antennas on the existing 102’ tall water tank at 1 Yankee Drive, Brewster. T-Mobile’s scope of
work includes of replacing six (6) existing antennas with nine (9) proposed antennas. The
existing antennas being removed consist of three (3) RFS-APXVSPP18-C-A20 (total of 3, 1 per
sector) and three (3) RFS-APXVTM14-C-120 (total of 3, 1 per sector). The proposed antennas
being added consist of three (3) Ericsson-AIR32_B66A_B2A (56.6”H x 12.9”W x 8.7”D – 132.2
lbs.) (total of 3, 1 per sector), three (3) AIR6449 B41 (33.2”H x 20.5”W x 8.5”D – 102 lbs.)
(total of 3, 1 per sector), and three (3) RFS-APXVAALL18_43-U-NA20 (72.0”H x 24.0”W x
8.5”D – 92.6 lbs.) (total of 3, 1 per sector). The scope of work also includes replacing six (6)
existing radios with six (6) proposed radios. The existing radios consist of three (3) ALCATEL-
1900MHz RRUS (total of 3, 1 per sector) and three (3) Clearwire-2.5GHz RRUS (total of 3, 1
per sector). The proposed radios consist of three (3) Ericsson-4415 B25 RRUS (total of 3, 1 per
sector) and three (3) Ericsson-4449 B71+B85 RRUS (total of 3, 1 per sector).
The proposed T-Mobile antennas (total of 9, 3 per sector) and radios (total of 6, 2 per
sector) are to be mounted on existing and proposed pipe mount frames which are connected to
the existing railing surrounding the vent structure at the top of the water tank dome. A review of
the Structural Analysis prepared by Terrasearch, LLC dated December 12, 2002 shows that the
existing structure was designed and built with high tempered steel. The existing water tank
appears to be in good condition and well maintained. Based on our evaluation, it is our opinion
that additional nominal horizontal and vertical loads can be safely supported by the existing
structure as shown on the design plans referenced above.

the Structural Evaluation prepared by Chappell Engineering Associates, LLC dated April 11,
2014 shows that the existing railing structure consist of vertical tube steel members and is
welded to the top of the water tank using rolled “L” members. The existing railing system
appears to be in good condition and welded connection appear to be secure. Based on our
evaluation, it is our opinion that additional nominal horizontal and vertical loads can be safely
supported by the existing railing as shown on the design plans referenced above.

Community One Stop for Growth – FY2023 NOFA
3 | P a g e
I. ABOUT THE ONE STOP
A. Introduction
The Baker-Polito Administration is pleased to announce the availability of grant funds for the FY2023 round of
the Community One Stop for Growth (One Stop). The One Stop is a single application portal and collaborative
review process that allows applicants to access a series of grant programs that support community economic
development. The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) partners with the
Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and Massachusetts Development Finance
Agency (MassDevelopment), to make targeted grant investments based on a Development Continuum.
This coordinated process is designed to provide a more streamlined experience for applicants and to make the
programs more accessible to all types of organizations, large and small, in all regions of the state. The partner
agencies have a long-standing and successful history of providing funding, through multiple programs, that
supports various stages and/or phases of economic development projects. The One Stop gives communities the
ability to pursue, and in some cases stack, state resources in a more timely and strategic manner based on what
stage they are at and how ready they are to implement a project. The goal of the One Stop is to support more
efforts that result in economic growth for all cities and towns across the Commonwealth.
The impetus for the development of this initiative, and coordination between state agencies, was informed by
the year-long process of researching and writing the Commonwealth’s 2019 economic development plan -
Partnerships for Growth: A Plan to Enable the Commonwealth’s Regions to Build, Connect and Lead. In
sessions across the state, the Economic Development Planning Council heard from both large and small
communities about the resource-intensive work necessary to identify and apply for the myriad of state funding
sources needed to tackle the broad range of economic development challenges.
B. What’s New in FY2023
The inaugural FY22 Round of the One Stop was met with positive reviews and, more importantly, resulted in
the award of 196 grants across 122 communities, totaling $88.6 million in funding. Based on the feedback that
was received from applicants, several areas of improvement were identified to increase access to funding and
further streamline the application process:
Additional Grant Opportunities: The FY23 Round of the One Stop will include three additional grant
programs offered by MassDevelopment: Collaborative Workspace Program, Real Estate Services Technical
Assistance and Commonwealth Places. These programs were previously identified as referral programs in the
last round, but are now fully integrated into the One Stop application.
Improvements to the Expression of Interest: The Expression of Interest (EOI) form has been streamlined to
eliminate questions that were deemed unnecessary for providing effective feedback. The EOI form has been
reduced to two sections: one section for applicants to enter their organization information and a second section
for project proposals. The timing of the EOI has also been adjusted to begin a month earlier, allowing more time
for the Commonwealth to work with and provide feedback to applicants.
Improvements to the Full Application: In its first year, the One Stop Full Application merged nine grant
programs, each with their own unique application processes, into a single application. The response from
applicants indicated that the One Stop was successful in creating a more efficient process, but also identified
ways in which the application could be further streamlined. Based on the feedback of both One Stop applicants
and reviewers, the following changes have been made to the FY23 Full Application:
Community One Stop for Growth – FY2023 NOFA
4 | P a g e
1. Consolidation of the Core Sections of the Full Application: Last year, the Core Questions of the Full
Application were spread across four sections, with 56 total questions. For FY23, the Core Questions
have been reduced to two sections with only 38 questions. The first section, Applicant Information, is
identical to Section 1 of the EOI form. This information will be automatically populated into the Full
Application for organizations that submit an EOI.
2. Removal of Predevelopment & Permitting as a stand-alone category: Ambiguity, and in some cases
redundancy, between the Predevelopment & Permitting category and other sections caused confusion
among applicants, resulting in duplication of grant requests and projects as well as errors in the selected
categories. To solve this, Predevelopment & Permitting has been eliminated as a stand-alone category.
Applicants may now request funding for predevelopment and permitting activities directly within the
Site Preparation, Buildings, and Infrastructure sections of the application.
3. Removal of Redundant Questions: Each section of the Full Application was reviewed and compared
against the Core Questions to eliminate redundant questions within the application.
4. Rural and Small Town Development Fund and Housing Choice Community Grants Questions:
Applicants that are designated as a Rural/Small Town and/or Housing Choice Community will again
have access to grants only available to these communities. However, these will no longer be separate
sections. Questions specific to either type of applicant are now built in directly to the Continuum
categories for which these resources are available. Please review the NOFA and individual program
guidelines for details. Only eligible applicants, that propose budgets within the funding limits of each
program, will have the opportunity to answer the additional questions required to be considered for
funding by each program.
II. OVERVIEW OF THE ONE STOP PROCESS
A. Programs Integrated into the One Stop
The One Stop allows applicants to apply to multiple grant programs at once with a standard application. New
this fiscal year is the addition of three MassDevelopment programs, as noted below. The following programs
are now fully integrated into the One Stop application process:
Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development
Mass Works Infrastructure Program
Urban Agenda Grant Program
Department of Housing and Community Development
Housing Choice Community Grants
Massachusetts Downtown Initiative
Community Planning Grants
Rural and Small Town Development Fund
MassDevelopment

B. The Development Continuum
To help guide applicants, the One Stop uses a Development Continuum or lifecycle that describes how a typical
economic development project moves from concept to reality within diverse communities.
The One Stop requires applicants to think about their economic development priorities in the context of the
Development Continuum, both to guide applicants towards best practices and strategies and to help applicants
identify the types of projects that will help achieve their economic development priorities. Applicants should
consider this spectrum of activities as it prepares to submit applications to the One Stop, thinking fully about the
steps necessary for progress in the development of a project.
This continuum separates economic development activities into two broad categories. The first, “Preparing for
Growth,” includes the initial steps that typically need to occur before specific development projects can move
forward, as well as capacity-building economic development activities. The second, “Catalyzing Specific
Projects,” covers various forms of project-specific activities, particularly for projects that have private
development identified.
This year, Predevelopment and Permitting will no longer be a standalone Development Continuum category.
Applicants will now be able to request funding support for predevelopment and permitting activities, directly
within the pertinent categories: Site Preparation, Buildings and Infrastructure categories.
C. Expression of Interest
The Expression of Interest is a short form that allows an applicant to submit project ideas for feedback and
guidance from EOHED and its partner agencies. This will allow applicants to explore how their projects align to
the Development Continuum, by providing information about a project and to best determine what type(s) of
applications should be submitted in the full application.
The EOI is an optional, but highly recommended, step for prospective applicants seeking guidance before
starting to work on their Full Application(s). It is important to note that any eligible applicant may submit a Full
Application, regardless of whether they participated in the EOI process or not.
D. Full Application
Applicants must submit a Full Application to request funds from the One Stop programs. This form must be
filled out in the IGX system, but a version will also be available in Word format for reference. The form will
automatically populate with the viable options for applicants based off eligibility criteria. When submitting a
Full Application to the One Stop, all applicants must fill out the Core Questions in sections 1 and 2 of the
application. In the Core Questions the applicant must indicate the category of funding for which they would like
the project to be considered.

E. One Stop Process Steps
The One Stop is an opportunity for the state’s economic development agencies to work with communities to
define their objectives, submit applications and obtain funding for projects following a collaborative process:
Step 1: Virtual Sessions: There will be three (3) separate webinars to help applicants navigate the One
Stop. Attending the live webinar or watching the recording is suggested before submitting an Expression of
Interest or Full Application. It is highly recommended that all applicants watch all of the webinars before
developing and submitting an Expression of Interest and/or Full Application to the One Stop. Below is an
overview of the webinars:
Webinar 1: One Stop Overview Webinar – How Has the Process Changed? What can I Expect?
Webinar 2: One Stop Application Guidance Webinar – How to Frame Applications for the One Stop.
Webinar 3: Technology Webinar – How to Use IGX and the One Stop Online Application.
Step 2: Expressions of Interest & Guidance (Optional): The Expression of Interest is a simple form that
allows an applicant to seek guidance from EOHED and partner agencies. The Expression of Interest is
optional but highly encouraged. It is recommended that all applicants watch all three webinars before
submitting a One Stop Expression of Interest.
Each organization may submit one (1) Expression of Interest form for the FY23 Round. The Expression of
Interest period will open December 15, 2021 and run through March 18, 2022. All EOI forms may include
up to two (2) project proposals, however forms submitted by February 4, 2022 may include a total of five
(5) projects.
Once the Expression of Interest is submitted, staff at all partner agencies will review the submissions and
provide guidance and insight to strengthen applications. Applicants may also be referred to other available
programs that are not fully integrated into the One Stop application. All applicants are encouraged to submit
an Expression of Interest early in the process to allow for the maximum amount of time for feedback.
Step 3: One Stop Full Application(s): After the guidance phase of the process concludes, the One Stop
portal will open to accept applications. Applicants are able to submit multiple projects for consideration but
must submit one application per project. The number of project applications submitted is not limited, but it
is recommended that communities prioritize their requests to reflect the goals submitted in the Expression of
Interest phase. Interested applicants will have full access to the online application the launch of the One
Stop in January until the final submission deadline in June. During this time, applicants may draft and work
on applications, but submissions will only be accepted between May 2 and June 3, 2022.
Step 4: Review & Evaluation: The participating agencies will review all applications. The agencies may
also request additional information or clarification about applications submitted. All grants will be reviewed
on the criteria noted in the Review Criteria section and the additional review criteria noted in specific
program guidelines, linked to in the appendix. If an application is not fully clear, or the partner agencies
have additional questions, the applicant will be notified to either have a follow up discussion with the state,
amend the application submission or respond to questions via email.

Step 5: Notification of Award: The One Stop partners will review all applications and make
determinations of grant amounts based upon availability of funds. All applicants will be notified of award(s)
and the contracting process will begin with each agency. Reporting will be required.
Step 6: Contracting and Reporting: All grants in any category of funding are subject to appropriation.
Once a project is approved, the contracting for the project will be handled by the relevant partner agency
including the specifications of the duration, scope and final budget. Routine reporting will be required by
the agencies and will be specified at the time of contracting.
By participating in this process and submitting either an Expression of Interest or a Full Application, a project
will be automatically referred to relevant grant programs, particularly those under EOHED, DHCD, and
MassDevelopment. See Appendix for the programs that will be coordinated with the One Stop. If this process
identifies additional needs that align with other programs not listed above, further coordination and referrals
may be made on a case-by-case basis, including referrals to the programs identified in the Appendix.

Applications from Housing Choice Communities and Rural/Small Towns
Addressing the housing crisis in Massachusetts is a top policy priority for the Baker-Polito Administration. The
Administration is also committed to increasing investments in rural and small towns, understanding that they
work at a smaller scale for economic development. Therefore, the One Stop provides additional opportunities
exclusively for Housing Choice Communities and Rural and/or Small Towns. Only community currently
designated as Housing Choice and/or Rural and Small Town are eligible for funding from these programs.
New section 3A to the Zoning Act (Chapter 40A of the General Laws) requires each of the 175 MBTA
communities to have a zoning district in which multifamily zoning is permitted as of right, and that meets other
requirements set forth in the statute. Any MBTA community that does not comply with Section 3A will not be
eligible for funding from the Housing Choice Community Grant Program and/or the MassWorks Infrastructure
Program. For information on how MBTA communities can remain compliant for the FY23 Round of the One
Stop, please visit www.mass.gov/mbtacommunities.
If an eligible community submits an application to a Development Continuum category supported by either
program, they will be asked whether they have reviewed the guidelines for those grant programs and whether
the budget for the project is within the funding limits of the Housing Choice Community Grant Program or the
Rural and Small Town Development Fund. The Rural and Small Town Development Fund falls within the
Planning and Zoning, Site Preparation, Buildings, and Infrastructure categories of the One Stop continuum. The
Housing Choice Community Grant Program falls within the Planning and Zoning and Infrastructure categories
of the One Stop continuum. If the budget request for the project is within the funding limits, the applicant will
be required to answer additional questions specific to the Housing Choice Community Grant Program and/or
the Rural and Small Town Development Fund to be considered by these programs.

V. APPLICATION EVALUATION
A. Core Review Criteria
All applications submitted through the One Stop will be reviewed by program staff to determine which One
Stop program is best suited to achieve the applicant’s objective. This review will include an initial screening
based on statutory and regulatory eligibility requirements and program guidance (See Appendix for links to
program guidelines). All applications will then be evaluated based on the following core review criteria, in
addition to the criteria noted in each respective program’s guidelines:
• Achievable Project Scope: Is the project feasible and achievable?
• Ability to Execute & Leadership: Does the project have appropriate leadership with the requisite
experience and ability to execute the project?
• Achievable Timeline: Is the timeline of the project reasonable and achievable? For construction
projects, is the project advanced in its design and permitting.
• Reasonable Budget, Showing Commitment: Is the project budget reasonable? While not required,
preference will be given to projects that leverage match funding outside of the requested grant funds, but
outside funding is not a prerequisite.
• Outcomes and Impact: What are the projected outcomes of this project and the impact this project may
have on the community? Outcomes related to equitable opportunity and environmental impact will also
be taken into consideration.
• Progress to Date, Showing Commitment: Does the applicant show commitment to the project through
past activity and investment?
B. Other Considerations
In addition to the criteria noted above, the One Stop for Growth will align with key priorities of the Baker Polito
Administration. First, there is a housing crisis in Massachusetts; therefore, all applicants will be asked how the
project impacts housing and whether a community has a housing moratorium or restricts new housing.
Additionally, it is vital to provide equitable opportunity to key populations in communities across the state. All
applicants will be asked to consider the equitable opportunities their project provides in the community Finally,
given the circumstances of the economy due to COVID-19, all applicants will be asked to consider whether the
project furthers economic recovery.

Re: Town of Brewster
One Stop Application
Planning and Design Phase for Former Cape Cod Sea Camps Properties
Dear Secretary Mike Kennealy and One Stop Program Team,
The Brewster Select Board voted at its’ May 23 meeting to support the application for a
Community One Stop for Growth grant in connection with the planning and design phase for the
Town’s recently purchased Cape Cod Sea Camps properties.
The impetus for this project is the Town’s 2018 Vision Plan, which outlines as a priority the
maintenance and expansion of open space assets to provide public recreation and to protect the
Town’s fragile natural habitat. The recently acquired properties offer opportunities for significant
public benefits including conservation of land, coastal dunes, and wetlands; habitat and drinking
water protection; beach access; a home for a community center; extensive recreational amenities;
and community housing. This project is strongly aligned with community priorities identified in
the Brewster Vision Plan and resident feedback from other recent strategic planning initiatives.
The Select Board has recently finished appointing members to two new advisory committees
tasked with developing plans regarding the future uses of both parcels. These committees will
shortly embark on the planning and design phase, working with Town staff and a professional
interdisciplinary design team.If awarded this One Stop grant, these funds will be used to help
finance this stage of the project. The planning and design phase of the project is essential to
ensure that community feedback is obtained through a public engagement process, and to prepare
detailed Master Plans before we move into schematic design for the first phase of construction.
The two recently acquired parcels of land offer significant opportunities for the Town. The Town
currently lacks a community center, and many departments, such as the Department of
Recreation and the Council on Aging, lack the space necessary to adequately service the scale of
the programming they provide. Our project team will therefore consider the potential to co-locate
these departments in a new intergenerational community center. In response to the ongoing
housing crisis in Brewster and Cape Cod, our team will also assess the potential to use the
parcels to provide community housing and seasonal workforce rentals.
Office of:
Select Board
Town Administrator
We, the Select Board, are incredibly proud of the Town’s recent purchase of the former Cape
Cod Sea Camps properties. Last year, residents gave near-unanimous approval for the acquisition
at the biggest gathering of Town Meeting voters in Brewster’s history. There is overwhelming
community support for this project, due to the fact that these parcels of the land have the
potential to provide substantial benefits to Brewster for generations to come. It is essential that
we make the correct decisions on the future uses of these parcels. This One Stop grant would
greatly assist in the Town’s planning and design phase of this project, helping to fund the
contracting of an experienced consultant capable of drafting high quality Master Plans.
The Brewster Select Board strongly supports this Community One Stop for Growth grant
application.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Bingham,
Chair
Brewster Select Board

Not all clothing is fit for the screen.
We’ve created a guide to help you dress for
television success!
• Blazers and jackets with a collar.
A microphone can be clipped onto the collar
and the wire can be hidden inside the jacket.
• Soft colors, like grey, beige and earth tones.
These colors seem to agree best with the
camera and appear pleasant on screen.
• Accessories, like a tie or scarf.
A tie for men can be a good place to clip a
microphone. For women, a scarf can be help-
ful if your shirt doesn’t have a collar.
• Stripes, polka dots or checks.
Elaborate designs can strobe on camera
and appear bendy and pixelated on
screen.
• Bright colors, including white and green.
Bright colors can throw the camera’s color
settings off balance. Green can interfere
with the backdrop if you’re using a green
screen.
• Sweaters or T shirts with no collar.
These types of tops don’t have a good
place to discretely clip a microphone.
Dress shirts, jackets or even scarves can
be good for placing your mic.

WHAT TO WEAR ON CAMERA
THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF TV ATTIRE
Welcome to LCCAT’s once-a-quarter PSA Day – where we invite
members of the nonprofit community to come on in and tell
their story.
PSA = Public Service Announcement = a short message that
educates or informs people about something that matters to your
organization. It could be a message about who you are, about an
upcoming event, or about an issue, cause, or topic that you work on.
Persuasive! PSAs have a point of view. Show or tell that view
clearly, and get people interested in or excited about it.
Clear! PSAs focus on a message. Pick one thing you want the PSA
to communicate. Say it straightforward. Show it. Repeat it simply
and clearly.
Concise! Typical PSAs are 30-60 seconds long. Think of them as the
tasty tidbit on the toothpick that whets the appetite… not the main
course!
Factual! PSAs use reliable sources, accurate facts.
Engaging! PSAs grab and keep a viewer’s eye with images, video,
music, narration, interviews, graphics, animations. They don’t have
to be complex or busy or fancy, but good visuals and a lively tone
help share your message.
Plan what you want to on focus
on in advance. Pick the one most
important thing you want your PSA
to communicate.
Collect some visuals. Still photos,
B-roll video, graphics… Simple
visuals combine with your voice to
create a more engaging message
than your smiling face alone. Don’t
just tell – show!
Write a short script that reads
the way you speak. A script
presents spoken words, with
pacing and language different from
formal written text. Your mission
statement might be perfect for the
annual report, but for your script…
use direct spoken language.
Practice your script. Even if
you’ll have your script on the
teleprompter, practice speaking it
aloud in advance. Get comfortable
with the words and cadence. If you
stumble in the same place, change
the script to make it more natural
and comfortable to you.
Don’t stress. Really. It’s just some
video. Taping a PSA doesn’t
commit you to using it forever!
Be you. Let your authentic belief
in your organization come through.

WELCOME TO PSA DAY!
WHAT IS A PSA?
SOME PSA TIPS
Ready to share your organization’s message via
a Public Service Announcement, aka PSA? Of
course you are! Here’s a checklist of some things
you might want to prepare in advance.
Even if you plan to speak without reading from a script, practice using one – you’ll be surprised how much easier it is to stay focused and on message by practicing in advance.
• Use bullet points to highlight the key message elements
• Practice using language that flows in voice – this isn’t formal written text!
• Be personable, engaging, and yourself – video allows you to use the power of personality to share a message.
• Focus - Pick one message and use elements to support that message.
• Less can be more – As a guideline, 60 words = 30 seconds of video. Brevity speaks more strongly than verbosity.
A teleprompter displays your script so you can read it naturally as you look into the camera.
• Send us your script as a word file at least a day in advance so we can have it set up before you arrive.
• If you haven’t used a teleprompter before, ask us to walk through it with you when you arrive to do your PSA, so you can practice with it a few times.
• You don’t have to use the Teleprompter; it is an option you can choose, not a PSA requitement.
B-Roll describes “extra” video and/or still photos that show more about your PSA message. B-Roll Video is visual! People like seeing your organization in action.
• Think about the images that help tell your story and illustrate activities that show what your organization does best.
• Gather short video clips and still photos. Don’t be afraid to ask around your organization. It seems everyone has a smart phone image or two of your organization in action.
• Sometimes “home movies” or “snapshots” give an immediacy to your work – images and videos don’t need to be professionally made. However, do be sure the images are in focus and that any people in them are OK with their images appearing in your PSA.
• Email or share a thumb drive with the video and .jpgs with LCCAT in advance so we can be ready to incorporate them.

current status of materials purchases and contractor coordination, we still anticipate an
opening on or around July 1. Once we are further along with the work (likely mid-
June), we will make an announcement about the first day that the beach will be open
to residents.
The parking lot will be open to residents 7 days/week in July & August from 8AM until
8PM. The Recreation Department has hired several additional seasonal employees who
will check resident beach stickers at the main gate. Gatekeepers will only admit up to
the 50 vehicles that will fit in the new parking lot at a time. Town Administration plans
to present a recommended policy on this new beach with more operational details for
your consideration at your June 13 meeting. The Natural Resources Department may
also construct a new kayak rack adjacent to the beach path. We should have
information on that by mid-June as well.
As previously approved, the Town is using up to $150k in available ARPA funds to pay
for the one-time expenses and operating costs associated with opening this beach area
to residents for this summer. The Bay Property Planning Committee will determine
long-term public access and parking solutions at this site through the comprehensive
planning process. In the meantime, we believe this interim arrangement will meet our
goal of providing access to one of the most critical amenities of this property for the
next several years.

Town Administrator
In addition to beach access, the Town also plans on hosting several events on the Bay
property this summer:
Friday July 22 at 8:00 PM, the Recreation Department and Council on
Aging will host a Silver Screen Movie Night.
Friday August 5 at 8:00 PM, the Recreation Department and Brewster
Ladies Library will host a Family Movie Night.
Thursday August 18 at 6:00 PM, the Brewster Band will perform a concert.
Friday August 26 at 5:00 PM, the Town will host a Touch-a-Truck event.

v. any vegetation associated with post-construction BMPs is suitably established to
withstand erosion.
c) The landowner is responsible for BMP maintenance until the issuing authority is notified
that another party has legally assumed responsibility for BMP maintenance. Prior to
requesting a Certificate of Compliance, or Partial Certificate of Compliance, the responsible
party (defined in General Condition 18(e)) shall execute and submit to the issuing authority
an Operation and Maintenance Compliance Statement (“O&M Statement) for the
Stormwater BMPs identifying the party responsible for implementing the stormwater BMP
Operation and Maintenance Plan (“O&M Plan”) and certifying the following:
i.) the O&M Plan is complete and will be implemented upon receipt of the Certificate of
Compliance, and
ii.) the future responsible parties shall be notified in writing of their ongoing legal
responsibility to operate and maintain the stormwater management BMPs and
implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
d) Post-construction pollution prevention and source control shall be implemented in
accordance with the long-term pollution prevention plan section of the approved
Stormwater Report and, if applicable, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan required by
the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Multi-Sector General Permit.
e) Unless and until another party accepts responsibility, the landowner, or owner of any
drainage easement, assumes responsibility for maintaining each BMP. To overcome this
presumption, the landowner of the property must submit to the issuing authority a legally
binding agreement of record, acceptable to the issuing authority, evidencing that another
entity has accepted responsibility for maintaining the BMP, and that the proposed
responsible party shall be treated as a permittee for purposes of implementing the
requirements of Conditions 18(f) through 18(k) with respect to that BMP. Any failure of the
proposed responsible party to implement the requirements of Conditions 18(f) through
18(k) with respect to that BMP shall be a violation of the Order of Conditions or Certificate
of Compliance. In the case of stormwater BMPs that are serving more than one lot, the
legally binding agreement shall also identify the lots that will be serviced by the stormwater
BMPs. A plan and easement deed that grants the responsible party access to perform the
required operation and maintenance must be submitted along with the legally binding
agreement.
f) The responsible party shall operate and maintain all stormwater BMPs in accordance
with the design plans, the O&M Plan, and the requirements of the Massachusetts
Stormwater Handbook.

Project Description: The Notice of Intent proposes milling, repairing, and installing overlay
pavement for an existing area of asphalt pavement, adjusting and paving an existing gravel
access roadway, constructing an access driveway from an existing roadway, installing two
stormwater management systems, and managing an access path to the beach. The project
includes areas on and within 50 and 100 feet of coastal wetlands.
Resource Area Identification
The Conservation Commission does not confirm the resource area boundaries as shown on the
plan. Due to changing site conditions the resource area boundaries are not confirmed, however,
the resources are confirmed as Coastal Beach, Coastal Dune, and Land Subject to Coastal
Storm Flowage.
The affected resource areas under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. Ch.131 §.
40) are Coastal Beach (310 CMR 10.27), Coastal Dune (310 CMR 10.28), and Land Subject to
Coastal Storm Flowage.
The affected resource area under the Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law (Chapter 172) are
Coastal Beach (Brewster Wetland Regulations 2.02), Coastal Dune (Brewster Wetland
Regulations 2.03), and Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage.

Order of Conditions SE 9-1924 Findings/ Special Conditions
2
Coastal Beach, 310 CMR 10.27(3): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50 and
100 feet of a Coastal Beach. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal
beach is significant to storm damage prevention, flood control, and protection of wildlife habitat.
The Commission finds that the project can be conditioned so it will not have an adverse effect by
increasing erosion, decreasing the volume or changing the form of the coastal beach or an
adjacent or downdrift coastal beach.
Coastal Dune, 310 CMR 10.28 (3) (5): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50
and 100 feet of a Coastal Dune. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal
dune is significant to storm damage prevention, flood control, and the protection of wildlife habitat.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds the proposed project will not have an adverse
effect on a coastal dune by affecting the ability of waves to remove sand from the dune; by
disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the dune; by causing any modification of the
dune form what would increase the potential for storm damage or flood damage; by interfering
with the landward or lateral movement of the dune; or by causing removal of sand from the dune
artificially.
Findings under Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Wetlands Regulations:
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the project can be conditioned to comply with
the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw and Regulations. See Special Conditions below.
Portions of the proposed work are on and within 50 feet of a Coastal Beach and Coastal Dune.
Sections 2.02(3) and 2.03(3) of the Brewster Wetlands Protection Regulations all require a
variance from the regulations granted pursuant to Section 5.01 of the regulations.
A variance may be granted only for the following reasons and upon the following conditions:
a) 1) mitigating measures are proposed that will allow the project to be conditioned
so that it contributes to the protection of the resource values identified in the
Wetlands Bylaw; and
2) the Conservation Commission finds no reasonable alternative for such a
project within the proposed site; and
3) there will be no adverse impact from the proposed project; or
b) that the project is necessary to accommodate an overriding public interest or that
it is necessary to avoid a decision that so restricts the use of property that it
constitutes an unconstitutional taking without compensation.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that mitigating measures have been proposed that
will allow the project to be conditioned so that it contributes to the protection of the resource
values identified in the Wetlands By-law. The mitigating measures include erosion control
measures, improved stormwater management, and native plantings.
Alternatives were addressed by Coastal Engineering Company, Inc. The Conservation
Commission finds that the proposed project is a reasonable alternative.
The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the project can be conditioned so
there are no adverse impacts from the proposed project to the interests protected by the
Brewster Wetlands Protection By-law.

The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the project is necessary to accommodate an
overriding public interest or that it is necessary to avoid a decision that so restricts the use of
property that it constitutes an unconstitutional taking without compensation.
For the above stated reasons, the Conservation Commission grants a variance to Sections
2.02(3) and 2.03(3) of the Brewster Wetlands Protection Bylaw Regulations.
Coastal Beach, 2.02 (3): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50 and 100 feet of
a Coastal Beach. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal beach is
significant to wildlife, storm damage prevention and flood control. The Brewster Conservation
Commission finds that the proposed project can be allowed under a variance from the regulations
pursuant to section 5.01. See variance findings above.
Coastal Dunes, 2.03(3)(4)(5): Portions of the proposed project occur on and within 50 and 100
feet of a Coastal Dune. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the proposed project
can be allowed under a variance from the regulations pursuant to section 5.01. See variance
findings above. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that the coastal dune is significant
to storm damage prevention and flood control. The Brewster Conservation Commission finds that
the propose project will not have an adverse effect on a coastal dune by affecting the ability of
waves to remove sand from the dune; by disturbing the vegetative cover so as to destabilize the
dune; by causing any modification of the dune form that would increase the potential for storm or
flood damage; by interfering with the landward or lateral movement of the dune; or by causing
removal of sand from the dune artificially. See Special Conditions below.

RE: Proposed Beach Names
DATE: May 20, 2022
At your March 21 meeting, the Board discussed our plan to launch a contest for
residents to submit proposed names for the new public beach located at 3057 Main
Street. The contest was held from April 1 to April 15, and we received 567 submissions
in total, including numerous repeat suggestions. As discussed, after the deadline,
Donna and I met with Select Board members Mary Chaffee and Ned Chatelain for an
initial review of the submissions to develop a short-list of names for the Select Board to
consider. Several of the proposed beach names that we supported bringing forward
sought to recognize and acknowledge Brewster’s Wampanoag heritage. Accordingly,
we contacted the Historic Preservation Office for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and
others asking for feedback about those potential names to ensure they would be both
historically accurate and culturally appropriate.
Following this process, we present four (4) names for your consideration:
1.Wono: Following the Delahanty family’s purchase of the 55 acre bay property in
1938 seeking to establish a sister camp to the all boys Camp Monomoy, they
opened an all-girls camp called Camp Wono in 1939. The property was known
as Camp Wono until the two camps consolidated on this site in the mid-1970s
before the Monomoy property was eventually sold to the MA Department of
Conservation and Recreation in the 1980s. The Wono name was intended to
honor Sachems Wono and Sachemus, who sold most of what is today central
and east Brewster to Thomas Prence in 1653.
2.Sea Camps: Recognizing the almost 100-year legacy of the Cape Cod Sea
Camps on this historic property, residents also noted that, as a matter of
practice, people will likely refer to the beach as Sea Camps anyways (at least in
the near term). Over 100 residents suggested this name, significantly more than
any other submission.
Office of:
Select Board
Town Administrator
3.First Light: The original inhabitants of Brewster, the Wampanoags, were also
known as the “People of the First Light”. This name broadly encapsulates
various submissions seeking to honor Brewster’s Wampanoag heritage.
4.Wild Acres: Prior to the Delahanty family purchase of this property for use as a
camp, it was a private residential estate owned by the McQuillen family.
Consistent with early 20th century custom to name homes, the McQuillens called
this property Wild Acres. The name is also a reference to the Town’s ongoing
commitment to conservation and open space.

Subje ct: Suggestion to adjust protocol for speakers at town meetin
Se ns itivity: Normal
May 15, 2022
Dear Members of the Select Board and Mr. Lombardi:
After yes terday’s rather protracted town meeting, I am writing to expres s a concern over the fact that one individual was able to commandeer s o
much s peaking time and to be repeatedly dis ruptive. I commend the Town Moderator Mr. Sumner’s efforts to manage the conduct of this individual,
and unders tand that he was doing his utmost to keep order, while at the s ame time being mindful of how further dis ruptive it would have been if he
had attempted to expel the individual.
As you know, due to the extensive questions and motions made by one individual, the meeting took an exceptionally long time, which res ulted in
many participants needing to leave before all of the bus ines s could be conducted. Toward the end of the meeting , s o many people had left, that there
was no longer the required number of 200 people pres ent to have a quorum, and we therefore could not vote upon the final article. Needles s to s ay,
this type of behavior interferes with the efficient execution of the meeting. I als o fear that type of behavior will deter res idents from attending future
meetings .
The events of yes terday’s meeting have helped hig hlig ht the need for an adjus tment in protocol of s ome sort to help prevent this type of s ituation
from happening again in the future. Pardon my ig norance on the legalities of altering protocol. I am not sure if a change in the rules is needed, or if a
more s trict interpretation of the rules that are already in place will help s olve the is s ue. I trus t in your wisdom as a collective body to dis cus s options
and arrive at a s olution that will work bes t for the town and will continue to pres erve the rights of citizens to speak at town meetings .
Thank you s o much for your s ervice to the town and your thoughtful and collaborative leaders hip. Our town if so fortunate to have s uch a fine group
of people at the helm.
Sincerely,
C arol Forgione

17 May 2022
Brewster Town Officials,
I’m writing to ask that the Town of Brewster set rules in place for future town meetings
to prevent another meeting from being exploited by one person. Hundreds of voters sat
roasting in the sun on Saturday, the 14th at a town meeting that could have been easily
shortened by an hour (if not more) if Carol Anderson of Route 137 (as she stated many
times) had not spoken to every article and motion. A disturbing (and, I believe, direct)
consequence was to cause a lost quorum, preventing completion of town business.
While she has rights, I hope everyone else’s rights can be respected in the future. The
moderator did a noble job, considering the problem with which he was confronted.
Nevertheless, that meant hundreds of us were subjected to an almost 4 hour meeting,
sunburn, dehydration and missed activities. I wonder how many people did not bother to
voice their opinions or left early in frustration. I think Brewster voters were respectful of
free speech rights but many were frustrated as the situation became unreasonable.
I was personally affected with sunburn and missed an afternoon event. I also aided
briefly in the care given to an elderly resident who fell to the ground from the effects of
heat and dehydration.
I hope we can avoid repeating this unpleasant experience.
Sincerely,
Annie Campbell Dugan

Subject: Thoughts on Town Meeting
Sensitivity: Normal
___________________________________
I wanted to check in with a few thoughts after Saturday’s Town Meeting.
First, thank you Charlie for your unflinching patience and courtesy for the hours-long TM we all endured.
I would hate to see Saturday’s slog be a reason people stay away from future meetings. Given the inordinate
amount of time commandeered by one individual, other voters were discouraged from speaking up. And more
importantly, we didn’t get to complete the business at hand, due to the loss of a quorum, some 3 1/2 hours in.
It looked to me like there were at least two different videos to get the warrant info out to voters. Perhaps there
could be more focus on those advance opportunities. An explicit date and time for Q & A might limit the need
for so many broad questions from the floor. After all, it is up to us voters to inform ourselves.
Knowing the strong team of Select Board and town administration that Brewster has in place, along with Town
Moderator, I have every confidence that there could be some plan in place by our next Town Meeting…a plan
that preserves the democratic process for all of us.
Best,
Katie

Good afte rnoon,

To our Community P artners:
Trees are a beautiful and treasured feature of Massachusetts’s landscape, but they also can cause devastating damage when strong storms tear through the state.
Because trees are the number one cause of power outages for our customers and public safety issues in our communities, it's critical that we balance the many
benefits that trees provide with the need for safe and reliable power.
That's why we've developed a Vegetation Management Town Scorecard to measure the value of our proactive tree work across the state. Our goal is to provide a
visual and accessible overview of reliability and the state of our vegetation management efforts in your town.
The scorecard includes important data including:
• An overview of our 2022 plan for your community
• The number of tree related emergency calls
• The clearance standard need to be maintained
• Reliability data for Eversource customers related to vegetation
We understand the important role trees play in our communities. At the same time, we’re committed to meeting customer expectations on reliability. We need reliable
power now more than ever before and must work together to ensure the safety of our communities.
If you have any questions regarding Eversource’s vegetation management program, please contact me at 508-790-9007.
Sincerely,
P aul Sellers,
Eversource Manager of Vegetation Management

PRIM Board Quarterly Update
First Quarter 2022
PRIM Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer Michael G. Trotsky, CFA provided the following
information to the PRIM Board at its May 19, 2022, meeting:
Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer Report
Following PRIM’s very strong calendar year 2021 performance - a 20% investment gain and record
outperformance over the benchmark - market conditions deteriorated in the first calendar quarter of
2022. The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24 created an historic humanitarian crisis and dealt
global financial markets and world economies a substantial setback.
The war, combined with new COVID flare-ups, rising inflation and interest rates, and continued supply
chain disruptions has caused global economic growth to slow significantly. In late April, the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) reduced its world economic growth forecast for 2022 to 3.6%, down from a
projection of 6.1% only a few months ago. The IMF expects US growth to slow from 5.7% in 2021 to 3.7%
in 2022, and 2.3% in 2023. The U.S. economy contracted 1.4% in the first quarter. Changing expectations
about the future are detrimental to global markets and global economies; equity and bond price volatility
are at highly elevated levels.
However, PRIM is still performing at a very high level. The environment at PRIM can best be described as
“all hands-on deck.” We have assembled a group of highly trained and talented professionals and we are
extremely proud that they are attentive to every detail in the portfolio. We have asked the team to
examine every strategy in the portfolio and to increase our communications with each manager.
PRIT Fund performance was negative for the quarter ending in March, but still up substantially for the
one-year period. The PRIT Fund was down 2.1% (net) for the quarter, in line with benchmark returns, but
for the trailing 12-month period, the Fund is up 12.6%, outperforming the benchmark by 5.5%. The 2.1%
decline in the March quarter compares very favorable to the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index, which
declined 4.6%, Developed International equities declined 5.9%, and Emerging Markets equities declined
7.0%. Bonds were down 5.9% in the quarter and a 60/40 mix of stocks and bonds, a common comparison
for a diversified portfolio, was down 5.6% for the quarter.

PRIT Fund Performance
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2022, the PRIT Fund was up 13.1%, (12.6% net), outperforming
the total core benchmark of 7.1% by 602 basis point (552 bps net).
• This performance equates to an investment gain of $11.3 billion, net of fees.
• This outperformance equates to $5.0 billion of value above the benchmark return, net of fees.
• Net total inflows from contributions for the one-year ended March 31, 2022, were
approximately $76 million.

Organizational Updates
Tim Doyle joined PRIM as an Investment Analyst on the Private Equity team, reporting to Alyssa Fiore.
Tim joins us from the Mass General Brigham investment office and began his career at Cambridge
Associates in their pension practice. Tim has earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Boston College.
Vivian Liang joined PRIM as an Investment Analyst on the Research team, reporting to Maria Garrahan.
Vivian was previously a PRIM Research Intern where she worked within multiple areas of Research: asset
allocation, private equity replication, and manager selection tool development. In March, Vivian
graduated with a Master of Science degree from the Computational Finance and Risk Management
graduate program at the University of Washington.
Amy MacKay joined PRIM as an Administrative Coordinator for the Real Estate and Timberland team,
reporting to Tim Schlitzer. Amy previously worked in the Finance Department at Meredith & Grew-Colliers
and the Downtown Leasing Group at Whittier Partners-CBRE. Amy is a graduate of Assumption College.
On April 1, 2022 Governor Baker signed into law Chapter 42 of the Acts of 2022. Section 64 of Chapter 42
includes a Russian Divestment bill which goes beyond the federal sanctions list and includes all companies
that are incorporated in Russia. We are in the process of implementing all directives under this law. The
value of the investments covered under the law is very difficult to accurately ascertain because at this
time the markets are closed to foreign investors and there is very little reliable price discovery. We own
no securities that are on the current U.S. Sanctions list, but under the Massachusetts law’s broader
directive, we estimate that our position size at the start of the year was $250 million, on the day after the
invasion, February 25, the positions were valued at approximately $140 million, and currently, our pricing
vendors estimate the positions to be worth approximately $9.6 million. Subject to market availability, our
managers are required to sell 50% of the position size within six months and be completely liquidated
within one year.

In late March, PRIM became a founding signatory to the CFA Institute’s first-ever Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion Code for the investment profession. As a founding signatory of the DEI Code, PRIM cements its
position as an industry leading advocate for a new and better investment industry that more closely
represents the make-up of our entire society. A commitment to diversity and inclusion, just like ethics,
must come from the top. Many years ago, we decided to make cultural changes at PRIM to foster a diverse
and inclusive environment. We believe that an industry that embraces many voices and perspectives will
produce better investment outcomes and a more inclusive future for the investment profession. Signing
the DEI Code means that we are committed to embracing its seven core principles to improve our
workplace and our industry. PRIM’s human resources policies already capture these principles, and with
the implementation of the FUTURE Initiative following Treasurer Goldberg’s advocacy for investment
equity legislation, we are positioned to continue to lead in this area. We are proud of our progress, but
there is more we can and will do.
In its February 14, 2022, issue, Pensions & Investments reported that PRIM was ranked seventh among
the largest 200 funds in the nation for assets managed by diverse managers. This is an indication that our
ongoing efforts over the years, combined with our new FUTURE initiative, are putting PRIM at the very
top of the heap in terms of progress and many of the funds that have more allocated are far larger than
PRIM.
PRIM was nominated for Public Plan of the Year for Institutional Investor’s 19th annual Hedge Funds
Industry Awards for the 6th straight year. PRIM won the award in 2016 in recognition of our
groundbreaking work in separately managed accounts, which is now becoming the industry standard.
At the February 17, 2022, PRIM Board meeting, the Board voted and approved the establishment of a new
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Committee for the purpose of advising the Board on ESG-
related matters, and to engage an outside consultant to assist in developing a charter. PRIM staff is
working closely with the Treasurer’s staff and our outside governance consultant to complete a draft
charter.

Finance and Administration
PRIM Board Fiscal Year 2023 Budget
The PRIM Board approved the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget. The budget reflects the investment management,
advisory, and operational costs necessary to implement, measure, and monitor the approximated $103
billion in investments of the Pension Reserves Investment Trust (PRIT) Fund.
The projected FY2023 budget of $518 million is 50 basis points (bps) of projected average PRIT Fund assets
($103 billion). The expense ratio has remained steady, even while consistently growing the investment
program to include more high-performing, higher-fee strategies, and while growing PRIM’s internal
resources to pursue several innovative, industry-leading key initiatives. As is our custom, budgeted
Mass PRIM Quarterly Update – Q1 2022

expenses for FY2023 are conservative and foresee continued asset growth. Actual expenses incurred may
vary because most expenses are a function of asset levels and investment performance is not predictable.
